An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

Save

I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

Save

The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project.

Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors!

This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors!

• Bewitching Teepee Fun Fold card!

  September 12, 2022

  ---

  I've shared lots of amazing projects Annette made with the Bewitching bundle here . She was our Artist of the Month in August as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She used the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

  Today is a fun fold card called a Teepee card.  It looks difficult to make but it's sure not!  In fact her card inspired me to make one myself.  You can see the video here.  

  She used the Tea Boutique designer paper and the Stylish Shapes & Layering Circles dies for the circles.

  Save

  Creating this unique fun fold card starts with three squares measuring 4".  You'll score each one in half on the diagonal.  The designer paper is two 3 3/4" squares that you cut in half diagonally.  Watch the video here or scroll down below to see how it's done.

  This card is held closed with a small bit of Velcro.  The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 size envelope. 

  Save

  The inside is made of one 3 3/4" white square also cut in half on the diagonal.

  Love these boots!  This and the hats are all from the Bewitching stamp set.  Get the stamp set & Witch punch in a bundle at 10% off here.
